The agreements that Li Mu and Edward are negotiating include electric lights, telephones, and automobiles, all of which are civilian projects with great potential and good prospects, and their ability to attract money has been proven in New York and Boston. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Mu is going to set up a company with Edward to be responsible for business development in the United Kingdom, of course, this "in the United Kingdom" also includes the British colonies, think about how big the British colonies are-

Li Mu felt that a large number of pounds were flying towards him.

With Prince Edward's endorsement, Kalakaua I did not dare to attack Li Mu, and Li Mu even felt that if the new company fully demonstrated the ability of electric lights and telephones to collect money, it was not impossible for Li Mu to ask the British to give up Hawaii even if he discussed with Prince Edward.

To say how much the British attach importance to Hawaii, this is not necessarily, Britain is still a "sun never sets" empire, how many colonies in the world estimate the great Queen Victoria is not clear, Hawaii for the United Kingdom, is just a small profit, Li Mu bet that if Queen Victoria is given a map, Queen Victoria may not be able to find out the specific location of Hawaii.

Of course, the British will not give up Hawaii easily, but this is due to the efforts of Fern Jerome, for Her Majesty, Hawaii is not worth mentioning, but for Fern Jerome, Hawaii is the place he is specifically responsible, if you want Fern Jerome to back down, this will require Li Mu to do more work.

Li Mu had already been to "Aleionishiler" once, so he was familiar with the road, and the car drove directly to the door of "Aleiori Nihiler".

Kalakaua I really didn't pay enough attention to Li Mu, and it was Fern Jerome who was waiting to greet Li Mu at the door.

Fern Jerome was extremely enthusiastic when he saw Li Mu, and greeted Li Mu warmly, without seeing the slightest-for-tat.

It must be enthusiastic, Fern Jerome pulled Li Mu and Prince Edward online, Li Mu gave Fern Jerome a cheque with a face value of 100,000 pounds for this, and promised to give Fern Jerome shares in the new company, which is a lot of money, and it is not too much to buy Fern Jerome a smiling face.

"Didn't you want to buy Molokai Island, I mentioned this to Your Majesty yesterday, and Your Majesty is very interested in it, so your chance has come." Fern Jerome smiled, taking this as a reward for Li Mu.

When Fern Jerome spoke, he did not shy away from the attendants behind him and the guards in front of the palace, Li Mu glanced at the guards in front of the palace who did not squint, and couldn't help but sigh at the strength of the Anglican Church in the Hawaiian Kingdom.

"There's no hurry in this matter, I don't want to talk to His Majesty about business right now." Li Mu had a new idea, and he didn't want to give money so quickly.

It is right that Kalakaua I is short of money, so that Kalakaua I will die in a variety of ways, if Li Mu buys Molokai Island and alleviates Kalakaua I's dilemma, this may help Kalakaua I.

"What kind of demon are you going to be-" Fern Jerome had a headache, if Li Mu lifted his pants and turned his face, then Fern Jerome was really not a human being inside and out: "Our Majesty is still waiting for this money to start the construction of a new palace, if you don't buy it, maybe His Majesty will sell Molokai Island to someone else, but I know that some people are waiting for an offer-"

Li Mu is not the only rich person in this world, maybe there is a person with a long head and Li Mu who also likes to spend money indiscriminately, if this really makes others take the lead, then Li Mu really wants to cry without tears.

"What is the budget for the new palace?" Li Mu immediately found a solution.

"About $200,000." Fern Jerome did this, so Fern Jerome knew a lot.

"Very good-" Li Mu had an idea in his heart, give the money, if it is only 100,000, it will not only not relieve the financial pressure of Kalakaua I, but will also become a lifeline for Kalakaua I.

Think about it, halfway through the construction of the palace, Kalakaua I suddenly found that there was no money, and when the time came, Kalakaua I would be even more unscrupulous and crazy to accumulate wealth, and then it would be Li Mu's opportunity.

When Li Mu met Kalakaua I, Kalakaua I was having dinner.

Speaking of which, Kalakaua I's figure is not thin, which is very Hawaiian, think about Kamihameha V, who is more than 300 pounds, and it may be a tradition of the Hawaiian royal family to be able to eat.

"Mr. Reem, please be seated." When Kalakaua I greeted Li Mu, he did not put down the chicken leg in his hand.

Drumstick!

Why chicken thighs? Li Mu has been in Hawaii for so long, and it seems that he has not seen anyone raising chickens.

However, it is not difficult for a king to eat chicken legs, after all, Hawaii is the transportation center of the Pacific Ocean, and there are ships shuttling between the west coast and the Far East of the United States every day, and Hawaii is not short of living supplies.

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty." Li Mu thanked him politely and sat down on the chair pulled out by the maid.

"Some?" Kalakaua I sent an invitation to Li Mu with a sincere expression and a sincere tone.

"Thanks, I've already eaten it." Li Mu declined, he was not sensitive to the chicken leg or something, if it was a crab or a lobster, maybe Li Mu could still have one.

When you come to Hawaii, you must eat seafood, in addition to seafood, the specialties here are papaya and cane sugar, Li Mu is not very interested in the latter two, only has a soft spot for seafood.

I can't help it, I can't afford to eat it in my last life.

"I heard that Mr. Ream wants to buy Molokai." Kalakaua I said while eating, it was amazing that he could pronounce words clearly, which should be the basic skill of foodies.

"That's true, I want to give better care to those lepers, but it's all Mr. Harrison's work, you know." Li Mu smiled a little shyly, and he looked a little more sincere.

"Damn the show-" Kalakaua I was no stranger to "showmanship", after all, Kalakaua I also came to power through elections, so Kalakaua I understood Benjamin's needs in this regard.

"So, Mr. Ream, how much are you going to pay?" Kalakaua I didn't procrastinate and went straight to the point.

"Your Majesty, I originally put out a hundred thousand dollars, but you know, I'm going to start a company in partnership with Prince Edward, so I've been a little tight lately, if I pay half first, what do you think, Your Majesty?" Li Mu pulled Prince Edward out to endorse it.

"Damn it, that's supposed to be my money, how can you use my money to do business with someone else?" Kalakaua I was immediately angry, threw down the chicken leg in his hand, tore off the napkin stuffed at the neckline, and glared angrily at Li Mu.

Your money!

The contract hasn't been signed yet, it's just an intention, and where to start?

IQ is a hard injury, after Kalakaua I finished speaking, even Fern Jerome couldn't help but want to cover his face, with your IQ, it is also strange to be a king.

Considering that this is Hawaii, well, it's still acceptable, after all, the Kingdom of Hawaii has only been established for more than 60 years, this is a kingdom composed of small independent tribes, before that, Hawaiians have never received formal education, and even so far, the entire Kingdom of Hawaii has not even established a public education system, in such a cultural environment, don't expect to see how amazing talents can appear.

"Your Majesty, after all, we didn't reach an agreement before, so about this money-" Li Mu spread his hands and expressed helplessness, no matter when, whoever has the money in his pocket has the right to speak.

"Two hundred thousand dollars, Molokai Island is yours." Kalakaua I made an offer.

"Your Majesty, if you insist, then we can't reach an agreement, you should know that I bought Molokai Island just for my friend Mr. Harrison, two hundred thousand dollars is already beyond my budget, Molokai Island covers an area of six hundred and seventy square kilometers, if you refer to the price of Russia selling Alaska, the price will not exceed three thousand dollars, so one hundred thousand dollars is not a lot-" Li Mu was reasonable, and said with peace of mind.

It is indeed a lot, Alaska has more than 1.7 million square kilometers, and only 7.2 million yuan have been sold, and it is only more than 4 dollars per square kilometer, and if it is calculated in this way, the value of Molokai Island is only more than 2,700 points, and it is really less than 3,000.

Of course, the United States bought Alaska seven years ago, and given inflation, even if it is a little more, it should not exceed $3,000.

"That being said, Alaska is uninhabited by the ice and snow, and Molokai has a great climate and beautiful scenery, so you can't mix them up." Kalakaua I actually negotiated the price, maybe it was more suitable for Kalakaua I to be a merchant.

"But there are no lepers in Alaska-" Li Mu choked Kalakaua I to death with one sentence.

"Damn it, there are only a hundred lepers in those places, and I can send someone to exterminate them all." Isn't Kalakaua I a leper who is ruthless, and it is not difficult to solve this problem.

"And what else do I want Molokai for?" Li Mu did not forget to buy the name of Molokai Island.

That's right, Li Mu nominally bought Molokai Island to brush Benjamin's prestige, if there are no lepers on Molokai Island, then what kind of prestige will he use, you can't let Benjamin study the reasons for the formation of black sand beaches.

"Hypocritical Americans - well, a hundred thousand dollars, I demand a lump sum payment in cash." Kalakaua I retreated to the next best.

"Your Majesty, I heard from Mr. Jerome that His Majesty wants to build a new palace." Li Mu didn't talk about the price first, and was ready to dig another pit for Kalakaua I.

"That's right, I'm going to build a new palace, just across the street from the royal palace, which will become the symbol of the Hawaiian Kingdom, the largest and most splendid building in Honolulu." Kalakaua I had ideals.

"If Your Majesty considers giving me this project, then I can pay it all at once." Li Mu curved to save the country.

Well, if you get this job, then it will really be Li Mu who wants to rub the round, and if he wants to pinch it, he will pinch it flat.
